The Rock and Roll Playhouse turns classic-rock-style concerts into kid-friendly shows, with a live band playing Dolly's biggest songs while leading movement, games and storytelling. Parents get real Dolly Parton hits instead of cartoon music, and kids get permission to dance. If you have a toddler who needs to burn off energy on a weekend morning, this is it.
What to expect
A family crowd on Brooklyn Bowl's concert floor, with a live band on stage leading sing-alongs, dance breaks and interactive games. Volume is kept down for small ears.
